andy1252 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Never thought I'd be using my FSX system again, but just couldn't get this rather nice find to work at all reasonably in P3D (v3 or v4). I could barely remember how to use FSX, and it's a long way from being set up optimally, but as I've now got a few aircraft that will only run there I might go back and try and tart it up a bit. Anyway, here's the beast causing all the fuss, the Douglas X-3 Stiletto. Looks like it ought to be the fastest thing in the sky, but apparently only just about cracked Mach 1. Look's very Dan Dare though! (oh, these are out of Edwards AFB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I'd heard, Lawrence. Still a fine looking creation to my eyes, very '50s. 9 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: It looks cool Andy and I never even heard of this one before but I like it.

BTW, I did get it up in the air in P3D but it wasn't complete - missing the undercarriage flaps and the pilot, and the interior was a bit flakey, but would still be possible to move around and from the right angle you wouldn't notice the missing bits - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Cool toy, Andy. Though I was expecting something dressed in red with this post title . How can you see the runway when landing this bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Fantastic shots Andy I particularly like the lighting and shadows in the third one in the first group. It reminds me that you're on the hunt for a cloud or two to skewer! Great to see that FSX is still alive and well. As much as it is maligned , it still is capable of some outstanding images, as your sequence shows so well Thanks for sharing Cheers Renault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerold, I think they had special archery targets at the end of the landing zone - you just aimed the pointy bit at it 3 hours ago, renault said: it still is capable of some outstanding images, Hi Renault, if I have some spare time I will definitely go back and have a bit of an experiment with it. I still don't like the look of the autogen and all the popping etc but I only have a small bit of scenery and a few aircraft left on that system so it might be interesting to see how it can turn out. Way down on my priority scale though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
